the queue puts them at an estimated 1.4 seconds of fully blocking CPU time per pageload for a simple reservation system that likely has no more than 10k db records per day, it's a marvel to behold

my local publicly owned monopoly couldn't handle a few concurrent pageloads so instead of adding an index to their database they hired a third-party company to manage a traffic queue i love it so much https://x.com/mayfer/status/2074990991158001768/photo/1
